Raymarine Autopilots FAQ

What decides which drive unit I need?

The drive is matched to how your boat steers (tiller, wheel with cable or rod linkage, or hydraulic) and to the boat's size and displacement. An undersized drive works too hard and loses its grip on the course in following seas. Have your steering type and loaded displacement handy when you ask for a recommendation.

Do I need a chartplotter to run an autopilot?

No. The autopilot holds a heading on its own from its control head. Connecting it to a Raymarine chartplotter adds the ability to follow routes and waypoints.

Can you install a Raymarine autopilot on my boat?

Yes. Autopilot installs involve mounting the drive to the steering system, structural backing, and heavy-gauge power wiring, so it pays to have it done right. We install throughout Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay. Call (410) 263-0807 or contact us.
